International School blogging

E3
The name of the blog i found was E3. It is a classroom blog of sixth graders in Tauranga, New Zealand. In their class blog they did many things. First they had an art day where all the children painted and they showed all of the students' art in a slide show on the blog. They had a math game, kind of like a puzzle on their, which probably encourages the students to want to do their math work. Their was a blogger's prayer on the page, which i thought was interesting. Everyone knows how dangerous communicating on the internet can be and this is just a prayer to help and probably make people realize they must be careful. The blog had a step by step experiment about electromagnet done by a student name Pete and even a speech semifinalist video where everyone could voice their opinions about things she could work on. They have a very gross looking blue tongue lizard in their classroom they put pictures up of, and showed the bake sale where they raised $273.80. This was a very interesting blog, which showed me alot about their classroom and what they do on a daily basis.


Manaia Kindergarten
The next blog i found was Manaia's Kindergarten blog in New Zealand. This blog is almost like show ans tell i thought. The students are so young though, this was probably the best way to set up this blog. The blog shows a picture of a lamb, which followed a student to school one day so all the kids got to play with it. Next a student in the class went on a vacation to Fiji and he brought back pictures and told about his vacation. They showed where they had a pizza making day, which got the parents involved in the class. The class also had a face painting day and a slide show showed their faces and even a slide show showing the frosty day they had at school. The monkey named Ekko that is pictured above is another blog the class made. This monkey is a stuffed animal, which takes turns going home with all the students and it is kind of like a field trip. This is a very good idea to make kids excited about school and opportunities.
